Is This Site Down? MCP server

Which MCP servers are Is This Site Down?'s own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry namecom.downforjustmeoreveryone/is-it-downverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under downforjustmeoreveryone.com. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-21 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 202 ms.

Should an agent connect itNot proven either way yet
  • Whether its tools do the product's job has not been judged yet.

Once connected

  • For "check whether a site that won't load is down", the likely first call is check_site.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

What an agent can do with it

  • can do · check whether a site that won't load is down
  • not sure · see live up or down status for popular services
  • not sure · compare a failing site against an outside server's check

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

Worth a look

None of the five warning signs in these definitions.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

  • check_site

    Live up/down check of any public website from an independent server (Singapore; Boston for sites that geo-block Singapore). Returns a one-sentence verdict plus status code, latency, resolved IP, redirect target, the view from the other…

  • list_outages

    Lists the monitored sites (634 across 17 categories) that are confirmed down right now: two consecutive failed checks from their home region and no other region seeing them up in the last 15 minutes. Optional category filter.

  • site_history

    Uptime percentage over 24 h and over the requested window (up to 7 days), the list of outages in that window, when the site was last seen down, the current state and user-report counts. Only for monitored sites (see list_monitored_sites)…

  • check_certificate

    Reads the HTTPS certificate of a public domain and reports days until expiry, the expiry date and the issuer.

  • list_monitored_sites

    The 634 sites checked every 5 minutes, grouped in 17 categories. Without arguments returns the category list with counts; filter by category or a text query to get domains (at most 200 per call).

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "is-it-down": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://downforjustmeoreveryone.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http downforjustmeoreveryone https://downforjustmeoreveryone.com/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://downforjustmeoreveryone.com/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
